BLESS THIS HOME
Dear Lord, may this home be blessed with love,
Have thy guiding hand stretch down from above,
May joyful laughter and song reach up to the sky,
As the family strives to aim for heaven on high.
May this home be full of friendship and caring,
As love grows with sweet joy all things sharing,
A haven of peace, I pray, this home will truly be,
A place of safety and sweet repose, a sanctuary .
May there never be hunger, never be cruel strife,
Always able to share burdens as husband and wife,
May words of true love ever flow gentle and sweet,
And with prayer this home each new day greet.
Bless this home that no harm may ever befall,
May love and kindness be shown to all who call,
Lord, give this home Thy blessing we humbly pray,
Let Thy spirit dwell here wanting always to stay.
